despite low natural gas drilling activity and an oversupply from Chinese
competitors, driven by its generous proppant sales numbers. The company

unadjusted, down 40 percent from $1.43 posted the same quarter in 2011, and
revenue of $153.6 million, down 2.8 percent from $158.1 million year over
year. In comparison, analysts expected revenue of $145.9 million and
unadjusted earnings of 89 cents. For this year, management expects industry

activity to offset low natural gas drilling activity. The Full Research Report
